To: Tom Stevenson, City Administrator From: Mike Moulds, Director Date: June 6, 2014 Re: Delmarva Power & Light Co., Supplemental Right of Way Agreement Delmarva Power & Light Co. has approached the City of Salisbury regarding the need to amend a 1958 easement agreement between the City and Delmarva Power’s predecessor, Eastern Shore Public Service Company of Maryland. The easement runs southerly across the City Park property from North Park Drive to South Park Drive along the easterly side of the Pony League field. The easement contains overhead power facilities. Delmarva Power plans to replace a portion of the overhead line with underground facilities, however the current right of way agreement does not provide for underground facilities. Delmarva Power is requesting a supplemental right of way agreement to the existing easement agreement that allows for the installation of underground facilities. Delmarva Power has prepared the attached Supplemental Right of Way Agreement. A copy of the existing agreement is also attached for reference. Unless you or the Mayor have further questions, please forward a copy of this memo, the Supplemental Right of Way Agreement and the ordinance to the City Council.

Re: MEA Smart Energy Grant Acceptance Resolution

Tom, the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) has notified us on June 5th that we have been awarded a grant in the amount of $67,843 for implementation of energy efficiency projects and designation as a Maryland Smart Energy Community. Attached is a copy of the Grant Agreement and proposed Resolution. Due to delays by MEA in getting the grants out, they have required that the agreement be signed and returned by June 10th. As a result of our objections, they have allowed an extension to June 24th to allow Council to review the agreement at the June 16th workshop and consider approval at the June 23rd legislative session. Following approval of the agreement the City will need to adopt by resolution two policies for energy efficiency reduction and petroleum fuel reduction as well as obtain approval of a project plan which will identify the specific project(s) to be funded with the grant. We note that the City is already working with the Shore Power Project to establish baseline data which can be used to track the City’s efforts in meeting its policy goals. Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to call. Mike Moulds

MARYLAND ENERGY ADMINISTRATION MARYLAND SMART ENERGY COMMUNITIES GRANT PROGRAM

GRANT AGREEMENT

hereinafter “the Agreement”

STATE OF MARYLAND MARYLAND ENERGY ADMINISTRATION

60 West Street, Suite 300 Annapolis, Maryland 21401

hereinafter “MEA”

and

CITY OF SALISBURY

125 N. Division Street

Salisbury, MD 21801

hereinafter “Grantee”

PREMISES

The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) developed and administers the Maryland

Smart Energy Communities (MSEC) Grant Program pursuant to the authority provided in Sections 9-2003 and 9-20B-01 et seq. of the Maryland Code, State Government Article. The MSEC Grant Program is funded through the Strategic Energy Investment Fund (SEIF). See Md. Code, Section 9-20B-05 et seq. of the State Government Article.

The purpose of the MSEC Grant Program is to encourage local Maryland governments,

including counties and municipalities, to adopt formal policies to encourage energy efficiency, renewable energy development, and/or reduce reliance on petroleum as a fuel for transportation, and to implement projects to achieve the objectives of such policies. MSEC Grant funds may be used both to assist local governments in developing and adopting policies, and then to implement projects to effectuate the objectives of such policies.

MEA issued a notice of opportunity for funding through the MSEC Grant Program, and

upon evaluating the applications received, has determined that Grantee is eligible for an award. The amount and authorized uses of the Grant Award, as well as terms, conditions, and restrictions, are set forth in this Grant Agreement.

GR # 2014-15-420S1 GR # 2014-04-320S1

I. Purpose of the Grant Award

The purpose of this Grant Award is to assist the Grantee in the development, adoption and implementation of policies and projects that promote energy efficiency, the development of renewable energy resources, and/or to reduce dependence on petroleum as a fuel in the transportation sector.

II. Program Description

(A) Program Overview MEA has determined that Grantee is eligible to participate in the Maryland Smart Energy

Communities Grant Program. This means that the Grantee is qualified to receive Grant funding to assist it in becoming designated by MEA as a Maryland Smart Energy Community. Upon such designation, Grantee will be eligible to receive additional Grant funding to develop projects that implement energy efficiency and conservation savings, deploy renewable energy resources, and reduce dependency on petroleum as a transportation fuel.

(B) Program Components The Grant Program consists of two primary components: (1) Policy Development; and

(2) Project Development. Under the Policy Development component, the local jurisdiction is responsible for developing and adopting written policies that promote energy efficiency and conservation, the development of renewable energy resources, and reduce dependency on petroleum as a transportation fuel. These policies must be formally adopted through an official act of the governing body or office of the local jurisdiction, such as the promulgation of a local law, regulation, ordinance, resolution, executive order, or some other official commitment of the local jurisdiction’s governing body or office. Under the Project Development component, the local jurisdiction is responsible for designing and implementing specific Projects approved by MEA that effectuate the policy goals adopted under the Policy component of the Grant Program.

(1) Policy Component-local jurisdictions must commit to formally promulgate or

issue local laws, regulations, ordinances, resolutions, executive orders, or other similar mechanisms designed to achieve at least two of the three policy goals identified below:

Energy efficiency: Reduce per-square foot electricity consumption of local

government buildings by 15% within five years of a baseline year. Establish an electricity consumption Baseline year by estimating total local government building electricity consumption and size in gross square feet. Develop an Energy Reduction Plan (ERP) to document the baseline year energy consumption and a comprehensive program to reduce total electricity use by 15% from Baseline year use.

Renewable Energy: Reduce conventional centralized electricity generation serving

local government buildings by meeting 20% of those buildings’ electricity demand with distributed, renewable energy generation by 2022. To achieve this goal, estimate total local government building electricity consumption, and develop and

GR # 2014-15-420S1 GR # 2014-04-320S1

3

initiate a Renewable Energy Action Plan (REAP) to map out how the local government will achieve the renewable energy goal.

Transportation Petroleum Reduction: Reduce the use of petroleum as a

transportation fuel for local government vehicles by 20% within five years of a baseline year. Develop a Baseline of fleet efficiency and fuel consumption for all government, on-road vehicles using a gallons of gasoline equivalent basis. Develop and implement a Transportation Petroleum Consumption Reduction Plan to achieve the goal.

The Grantee has agreed to formally commit through local law, regulation, ordinance, resolution, executive order, or some similar mechanism, to at least two of these three policy goals as set forth in its Grant Application, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment A. (2) Project Component –local jurisdictions must commit to designing and implementing specific Projects approved by MEA that are intended to effectuate the policy goals set forth above. Different types of eligible Projects are: Energy Efficiency:

When determined to be cost effective, energy efficiency retrofits including: • Installation of insulation • Installation of efficient lighting • Purchase and installation of heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment,

which shall be ENERGY STAR level or higher wherever available. When ENERGY STAR products are not available, equipment must be approved by MEA before it is selected.

• Weather sealing • Purchase and installation of ENERGY STAR appliances • Motor and pumping system upgrades • Replacement of traffic signals and street lighting with energy efficient technologies. If a

Grantee chooses to pursue a project replacing traffic signals or street lighting, the electricity consumption of this equipment must also be included in the Grantee’s baseline energy consumption.

Renewable Energy:

With the understanding that undertaking energy efficiency improvements makes it easier to meet renewable energy goals, grantees should demonstrate that reasonable energy efficiency measures have been implemented before renewable energy systems are installed to ensure the maximum impact of clean energy output. The following criteria should be adhered to for the implementation of the proposed renewable energy Projects:

● Solar electric (photovoltaics or “PV”):

PV conversion efficiency shall be at least 14% efficient. Inverters shall be at least 95% efficient. If installed on roofs, roofs shall have a projected lifetime of at least 20 years

remaining after PV installation.

GR # 2014-15-420S1 GR # 2014-04-320S1

4

Communities shall be aware that ground-mount PV is more cost-effective than roof-mount PV.

Communities shall consult with MEA or the Technical Assistance Consultant about net metering, solar renewable energy credits (SRECs), financing structures such as Power Purchase Agreements, procurement documents such as RFQs and RFPs, incentives, payback calculations, etc.

● Solar thermal (solar water heating): Systems shall have reasonably high efficiency ratings from the Solar Rating

Certification Corporation (SRCC), based on OG-100 ratings for collectors and/or OG-300 ratings for collector/piping/tank systems.

Stagnation and freezing issues shall be addressed, e.g. with high-occupancy applications, drain-back systems, and/or glycol/water as the heat transfer medium.

Communities shall be aware that high-occupancy applications are typically more cost-effective due to increased economies of scale during procurement and installation, and to increased hot water demand from a larger population, with hot water needs at different times of the day.

● Geothermal heating & cooling (GHC): GHC systems shall only displace electric (e.g. air source heat pumps), propane or

fuel oil heating sources, or displace inefficient air conditioning systems that are at least 10 years old.

If a community has a hot water demand, it shall consider adding a desuperheater module to its GHC system.

● Wind: Communities shall consult with MEA before installing wind turbines to see if the

available wind resources in the proposed area have been quantified. Communities shall base technical viability of any wind turbine on at least one

year of anemometer data. Communities shall have in place an ordinance that allows for the installation of

community wind projects and anemometer towers.

● Biomass thermal: Eligible biomass projects shall achieve 65% efficiency or greater All projects shall utilize best available control technologies (BACT) All biomass projects shall comply with the regulations set forth by the Maryland

Department of the Environment and all other regulatory agencies. Solid fuel boilers are currently regulated by MDE via COMAR 26.11.09.04; Grantees shall review this information when considering biomass projects.

Transportation Petroleum Reduction

Projects shall be limited to the following: Re-filling stations: E85, Biodiesel, Electric, Natural Gas (both CNG and LNG), Propane and Hydrogen

GR # 2014-15-420S1 GR # 2014-04-320S1

5

• Vehicles: electric, natural gas, propane, hybrid (electric and hydraulic), engine downsizing and hydrogen

Equipment: on-board and off-board idle reduction technology certified by the EPA SmartWay program. The Grantee has provided a general description of the types of projects that it intends to undertake with the assistance of Grant Funds, as set forth in its Grant Application, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment A. Grantee shall develop more detailed Project proposals and submit such proposals to MEA in a timely manner for approval by MEA prior to the start of construction. (C) Program Funds and Reimbursable Costs The Maryland Smart Energy Community Grant Program is funded with proceeds from the Maryland Strategic Energy Investment Fund (SEIF). See Md. Code, Section 9-20B-05 et seq. of the State Government Article. By statute, the use of SEIF is divided into different sub-categories, including investments in cost effective energy efficiency and conservation programs, cost effective low and moderate income energy efficiency and conservation programs, and renewable and clean energy resources.

1. If the Grant Award is divided into different categories of expenditures (energy efficiency, low and moderate income energy efficiency, renewable development, and/or petroleum reduction), the local government is required to account for, maintain records, funds, and invoice MEA for the different categories separately.

2. Direct Project Costs-At least 70% of the Grant Award must be used to reimburse the local jurisdiction for approved expenditures (labor, equipment and material) associated with the construction or installation of energy efficiency and conservation, renewable and clean energy, and/or petroleum reduction Projects that have been approved by MEA in writing. 3. Policy and Project Preparation Costs-Up to 30% of the Grant Award may be used to reimburse the local jurisdiction for approved expenditures associated with the development and adoption of Policies, Plans and Baselines, Project design and development, feasibility studies, energy audits, reasonable administrative costs, and staff time and/or consultant fees. Feasibility studies must be pre-approved in writing by MEA, and must show how each measure can be installed within 5 years of the Baseline year. 4. Up to 30% of the Grant Award, not to exceed Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) may be available to the local jurisdiction for the types of expenditures identified as Policy and Project Preparation Costs, above, starting on the Effective Date of this agreement, defined below. Reimbursement shall only be provided for expenditures pre-approved by MEA in writing, and after receipt of appropriate invoices and reports with sufficient documentation of expenditures, as determined by MEA.
